From 2002 to 2004 I worked for a local Borders bookstore. This year I began a master's program and I found out that my old HR manager from the bookstore just graduated from that program. From 2004 to 2005 I worked for a subprime mortgage lender. I got really close with this girl who also worked ther...

RE: several people. I wouldn't call it a narcotic. And I recognize the health benefits and the potential to turn it into really great cloth. But I'm not hearing the arguments for legalization including the non-stoner benefits. As near as I can tell, every one wants to get high legally, and that's no...

Inglourious Basterds. I've never fully been a fan of Tarantino's work, and when I saw the trailers I figured it was just another one of his dark comedies serving as a vehicle for Brad Pitt. Holy mother of god was I surprised when I actually saw it. Brad Pitt just happens to be in it; it is in no way...

I watched all three seasons of Damages. I tried like hell to truly enjoy watching it, as I prefer "serious" TV shows over crap like Glee or American Idol. I never reached the point where I could look forward to next week. The first season was pretty good. The second was horribly convoluted...

Kunis is indeed more established than Winstead, and no, she isn't on Anne's level yet. Kunis is only more established because she's been around longer. Seeing her in Book of Eli last year was completely unexpected; nothing previously in her career indicated she'd be able or willing to act in a &quot...

Scarlet Johanson - November 22, 1984 Anne Hathaway - November 12, 1982 Mary Elizabeth Winstead - November 28, 1984 All younger than Natalie Portman. And all are pretty well-established actresses. At the risk of being argumentative, I would not describe Mary Elizabeth Winstead as "established&q...

SciFi finally aired the last five episodes in the U.S a day or two ago. I just watched the finale despite torrenting them a couple of weeks ago. Final exams plus WoW: Cataclysm sort of interfered with my intent to see them earlier. The last five minutes were sort of an add-on, presumably created aft...

Edit: I mean look at this guy ! Realm first 80 & 85, northrend vanguard, warlord title, seasons 2 & 3 gladiator, collector's edition from vanilla, bc, wotlk, and cata, multiple blizzcons and the paris invitational in 2008... how do you kill that which has no life? What exactly is remarkable...

Well, it's not like I ever decided to not watch the rest just because SciFi killed it. I suppose I should look for torrents. Edit: Thank the gods for the internet. Looks like the last 5 episodes continued airing on Space, the Canuck equivalent of SciFi. I'll have them downloaded and watched in the n...

But nothing on the rogue compares to the sheer stupid of frost mages. You have just as much CC as rogues, except you do a shitload more damage on top and from 40 yards away if you're smart and hump max range beside the healers in BG's. Frostbolt and Ice Lance both have a 35 yard range. FFB is 40, p...

At least until Prop 19 is approved. Which it won't be. Really bummed that the Giants won, and at how easily they won as well. It really wasn't a close series at all. Next year is going to be hell for Dodgers fans. The Giants finally have bragging rights. But, when they hold up one finger and gloat ...

Not a big surprise. If you're a baseball fan long enough you'll discover the entire organization resembles a typical American corporation. They are corrupt as hell and will do anything to win, including violating both written and unwritten rules on an off the field. The ALCS as a whole is a great ex...

Part of me cries that an Academy Award-winning film is being remade.Part of me knows that this is a book adaptation, not a film remake.Part of me is thrilled that the Coens are directing Bridges, Damon, and Brolin.

It has A-list Hollywood actors (Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song (she might be B list), Rashida Jones), My opinions on the quality of the film aside, you really lost me at this comment. Timberlake is NOT A-list talent. Acting isn't even his thing, he's a pop singer. Just because he branched out doesn...

Season 1 was a lot better, IMO. Although looking back it probably had a lot of the same problems (like location) season 2 does, I just didn't know about them. It was set in an industrial area of Los Angeles.

Tick was a desperate last move on the producer's part to salvage what has been an extremely shitty second season. None of the colonists know how to properly think , let alone act, on their basic survival needs. They should've had those riot shields and the water cannon by the second episode. The onl...

WOOT moved up the premiere of 1.5 to October 5th, instead of sometime in spring. Yeah, I heard this from another fan online a few days ago. I really don't understand why SciFi is trying to do everything they can to disperse viewer interest in this. Waiting nearly a full year between the pilot and t...
